Gathering at MacEntyre's House, Groundhog Day, Feb 2, 2013

Smiling Face and I are hosting another gathering of hangers and hikers on Saturday, February 2, 2013. Arrive anytime after 4pm, everyone welcome to stay until 11pm, or hang your hammock overnight if you prefer. We'll grill on the deck, burn a few Swedish candles, light up little wood stoves, hang hammocks in the backyard, and cook breakfast the next morning.

There will be lots of folks sharing experiences and discussing ideas. If you are new to hanging or to hiking in North Carolina, it will be a great opportunity to meet people and ask questions. There will be folks who know a lot about NC destinations, hiking, hanging, kayaking and more.

Thing1 and I will rig something up to make sure we can sit around the fire even if there is precip. Might even set up a huge Tensegrity Hammock Stand! There's plenty of room inside as well. It will be pleasant in any kind of weather.

Here's the thread about the 2011 gathering, and here is the one we held last year.

Who's able to make it?

- MacEntyre

P.S. Cooldays, don't bring a chair... the one you left last year is still here!

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
